"But I don't need to know how your brain works".
A common comment, when autistic people talk about the need to explain that we're autistic.
Mmm.
Let's explain a bit of everyday life. Thread.

What do researchers mean by "late diagnosis" for autistic people?
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Apparently, they could mean absolutely anything.
This pic shows their guesses, with teams choosing anything from about age 3 to e.g. age 50 (!).
Well, that's....different.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.
The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.
This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.
The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.
Here’s how they did it... 🧵

Trump and Musk represent the rot in society that is born from impunity and a general lack of accountability. Whether it’s a lack of accountability for war crimes or in personal relationships these men and their reflectors are actively dismantling the social order, laws, and civilization.

Pretty grim turn of events that has forced the Guardian staff to strike.
Not a decision they will have taken lightly. But if the Observer gets hived off and loses its editorial anchor, the imbalance in our press will worsen further.

To be clear: I love the Guardian & Observer. I have devoted 20 years of my life to it. I believe it’s one of the most important platforms for liberal journalism in the world. And I’m one of 700+ journalists who believe this is profoundly wrong

Yet another area where RFK Jr. is both wrong and potentially very dangerous.
I wrote about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s various weird ideas about HIV/AIDS, and why they could soon become the rest of the world's problem if he becomes HHS secretary. In the words of one expert I spoke to, "I can't believe we're having this conversation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
RFK Jr. has made false and dangerous claims about AIDS. That could become a global problem.
Will the United States abandon life-saving efforts to research and fight the virus?
